Yes. Actually, there is cloud hosted at nextcloud/owncloud and enterprise use, but the (consumer) idea is to give you the possibility to host by yourself.

If so does anyone have experience with it yet?

I just installed NextCloud on my VPS and I'm intended to install CODE on it to integrate both of them. Tip: it looks like it will be a PITA to install and integrate it, but let's see it.

​

On the other hand, as a user, I'm testing CODE (using Try Demo) since 2.0 version IIRC and now it's 'usable' (if you already make the change MSOffice-LibreOffice). I navigate on Firefox in zoom 130% and CODE used to screw up rendering on this level of zoom, but it's fixed in this version. If you open a Calc with too many rows, you will probably get in trouble.

Compared with googleDocs, CODE still lags a bit, but the performance improved a lot in the last couple of years.

I would give it (and LibreOffice) 2 more years to finally achieve the 'I really recommend this software for noob people' badge, but as I said, I'm already intended to installing it to test in my personal cloud. In 2 years, I'm intended to change my computer, so it will help too ;).

I joined the Telegram Open Network channel on Telegram and I read a really interesting message:

Telegram Was Not the Endgame of Pavel Durov

In 2013, when launching Telegram, Pavel Durov presented the messenger as a demonstration of the MTProto Protocol capabilities: "This is not so much a full application as it is a proof of concept for MTProto".

Nowadays, knowing about the success of the private TON ICO and Pavel's purchase of 2000 Bitcoins in 2013, we can assume that Telegram was created as a platform for a larger project. Perhaps this is what Durov had in mind when he said that Telegram is practically a demo of MTProto.

But everything was different. When introducing Telegram in 2013 (around the time when Pavel was forced to leave his Russian social media VK), Pavel Durov rolled out an unfinished product on the market. Minor bugs had to be fixed, while the main goal was to test the MTProto Protocol on a wide audience.

At the beginning of 2014, Telegram was bombarded with new users so intensely its servers went offline for a few hours. Of course, the scalability issue was eventually fixed. The end goal, according to the app founder, was a stable messenger with developed social and geolocation functions.

The MTProto experiment was successful, and Telegram began to acquire not only additional features but also new services that will be combined into a single network called Telegram Open Network.

​

It would be really awesome if Telegram was planned as a TON since the beginning.

There is no reason to keep a server closed-source code if they're intended to go that way (= to change to a decentralized network). Most of crypto projects are open-source, it gives them more credibility.

December is the month that AMD usually releases 'big driver news' with substantial changes;

WattMan is written using QT, that is, it was [probably] written thinking about cross-platform support. Maybe Linux is not ready to receive WattMan yet. Maybe it will receive in the future, but it's not 100% guaranteed.
